Scheduled to open at the Magic Kingdom in Florida in 2012, the new-new Fantasyland plan adds one ride, re-themes another and significantly scales back the princess-focused elements of the original outline.

Among the new additions:

* The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train coaster, which takes riders through the story of "Snow White," will feature ride vehicles that swing back and forth.

* The Goofy-themed Barnstormer kiddie coaster gets a makeover as The Great Goofini, combining circus sideshow elements with a flying school storyline.

* The Princess Fairytale Hall will serve as a meet-and-greet area for Cinderella, Aurora, Tiana and Rapunzel, taking over the Snow White's Scary Adventure dark-ride location. The new centralized hall replaces individual meet-and-greet areas envisioned for many of the princesses.

Several key elements remain from the 2009 plan, including the centerpiece Voyage of the Little Mermaid dark ride, the dueling Dumbo flying elephants ride, the "Beauty and the Beast" themed Be Our Guest restaurant, Gaston's Tavern and Belle's Cottage.

Three years in the making, the new Fantasyland at Orlando's Walt Disney World resort adds a Little Mermaid dark ride and a Seven Dwarfs roller coaster while updating the classic Dumbo ride and recreating the village from "Beauty and the Beast."

Dogs typically are used at airports to sniff out drugs or food products. At LAX and other U.S. airports, they are trotted out to calm down nervous fliers. Now a newly trained pack of canines will be unleashed in Kenya and Tanzania to do something else: track down illegal ivory.

Here’s a great airfare to an Asian city that’s as cosmopolitan as any in Europe and significantly less expensive than fares to many: It’s a $699 round-trip fare, including all taxes and fees, from LAX to Tokyo on Singapore or United for departures Aug. 16 through Dec. 6.
